Unifr Research Funding Week 2022

The first UniFr 'Research Funding week' took place between Monday, May 16th and Friday, May 20th  2022.

The aim of the “UNIFR Research Funding Week” was to offer targeted information on funding-related topics for researchers at UNIFR from all disciplines and at all career levels. We offered five different workshops during which the participants had the opportunity to be updated on research funding opportunities suitable for their career stage. The workshops covered national and international funding opportunities, as well as funding offered by the university.

The Research Promotion Service organized the event and will be available to answer any questions you might have.
